This looks fabulous. Will have to try it sometime.

Back in the sixties this used to be the height of sophistication !. I recall my wife and I ordering this with a shrimp cocktail for starters and washing it down with Mateus Rose. We now laugh about it.

I could have written that exact post.  We don't laugh about it now, though, we kinda' miss it.

I don't see it in wine shops but it's available online.  The bottle has changed from this.

To me, the sauce is wasted on a good cut of meat with flavor, but I will say of the "higher" end cuts, tenderloin probably has the least flavor!  Right, until I eat one and I think why don't I have this more often!  Uhh, $14/lb maybe a reason!

I did not associated the name of the wine, but when I saw the bottle I remembered it!
